INFINITE LEVELING: GOD-KIND SYSTEM

Return Of Dexter Pembroke

Dexter kicked stones as he made his home, he didn’t understand how the world could be so cruel, and it was painful. Not only was he a weak mage but also had a lot of medical issues, he needed glasses to see properly, he always relied on his inhaler to remain alive and he was too skinny to do difficult jobs.

Sometimes he asked the heavens why he was even given a Talent which he could never harness. Talents are rare skills which only one third of humanity has and it was used to keep the city safe from monsters, but this was as useless as a wasted sperm.

He had almost reached his home when he was suddenly cornered by four bulky men.

“Is this him?” One of them uttered as he looked at his friend.

“Yeah, he fits into the description."

“W…What’s going on?” Dexter said as he looked at them.

They turned their heads to look at him.

“You pissed off someone you shouldn’t have. We are here to teach you a lesson.”

One of the men gave him a scary smile, as he projected out a fire from his palm.

“A fire mage?”

Before Dexter could think of a reply, a punch landed on his face, causing him to fall back, and stumble.

.

“Please…” He tried begging but they didn’t listen. Dexter's face was already burnt from the attack.

These were grown up Mages with at least Grade C, their kicks carried a huge amount of force, and they didn’t even give him a chance to protect himself.

Dexter tried to get up but the other man who was an earth mage commanded the earth beneath his feet to immobilize him, then dashed towards Dexter.

“Bam!”

Their hits came in too fast.

“You fool, you think you're the same level as Mr. Tyler? You're a mistake in the World of Mages, and that mistake needs to be corrected” the fire mage said, flexing his fire talent around his fist.

Dexter was fazed by being weak, he was tired of being a victim to bullies. “Why!” He yelled.

“What are you saying?”

“Why are you doing this? Why?!” He yelled clenching his fist, he projected forward aiming a punch with everything he got in his stomach.

“I AM NOT WEAK!!!”

He yelled with anger his punch seemed to slow down time, it moved with great speed, but before he could touch the Mage's face.

He caught his fist effortlessly, “Was that it?” He mocked, slamming his blazing fist on Dexter's face as the left part of his face was brutally bruised, tearing the surface of his skin.

Dexter's lungs were giving out.

He needed to use his inhaler.

The men didn’t stop their attack, as their feet came down on every part of his body.

“I will not die like this!” His words were muffled because of his busted lips.

Dexter could feel himself losing consciousness. The earth mage slammed chunks of rocks on his face and chest making him cough out blood.

His hand went to the necklace on his neck.

He wanted to see his sister. The earth mage then sent a heavy rock to crush both his legs.

‘Argh!!”

A kick landed on his stomach causing him to spit out more blood.

“Tyler…” He gasped.

Tyler had been the last person he had seen that night.

Dexter had slowly begun to accept his fate; his arms fell down by his side indicating his defeat.

“He’s not moving anymore.” One of the men used his foot to check if Dexter was still breathing but he wasn’t anymore.

The young man had died.

“Let’s inform Tyler about the job, I hope he pays us as planned.” The men laughed.

It was very possible for a non-mage to hire Mages to do their dirty jobs as long as they had the money. Not all mages use their abilities to hunt monsters, some use it for illegal jobs, robbery included.

“NO, I WILL NOT DIE LIKE THIS!”

“I'M TIRED OF BEING WEAK! I CAN'T LEAVE MY SISTER!”

“I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I CAN'T DIE THIS WAY!” He declared to the air, his voice carrying a wave of authority. He was tired of being weak, the only way to survive was to become the strongest.

As soon as they left, the stone on the necklace around Dexter’s neck vibrated with a low hum.

[System Activated]

[Welcome to the GOD-KIND SYSTEM]

[Player can now begin to training to INFINITE LEVELING]

[Player wounded badly, welcoming bonus granted: Instant healing+regeneration]

A bright light from the stone emitted a string of blue energy and the energy flowed into Dexter’s orifices.

A huge blanket of the energy immediately covered Dexter’s body and began to fix his features.

A few inches of height were added to his body, his muscles became defined.

His cheekbones no longer looked sullen as his jaws were made to be in a smooth and defined shape.

***

“...”

“Where am I?”

*Grunts*

He blinked his eyes, as his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness, the room slowly came to focus. He was in the city's hospital.

“...?”

“How's this possible? But…”

“...I just died,” he wondered. He remembered the attack from the Mages, then quickly touched his face, legs and every part of his body.

He was perfectly fine. All his parts had been reattached.

How could this be possible?

“Am I dead?”

Suddenly a blue tab appeared in front of him.

[Player successfully regenerated]

[Transferring all system’s powers to Host]

[System error, Player is too weak to receive the powers of the GOD-KIND SYSTEM]

“What's this?” Dexter was stunned, he tried to touch the holographic display in front of him, but it was intangible.

[The GOD-KIND SYSTEM allows Player to level up for infinity. The system has chosen Player as its single player.]

“Am I seeing things due to my illness?” He asked, then looked for his glasses, he quickly wore them but found out his vision was blurry with the glasses, he removed it and his vision was clear.

“Unbelievable, I can see without my glasses”

He said, still staring at the holographic tab.

“Could this system be responsible for my mysterious healing?” He imagined, then touched his neck and discovered his necklace was missing.

“Oh no I've lost it” he sounded worried. Dexter got up from the bed searching all corners of the room hoping to find it, then his attention was drawn to the wall mirror.

“Holy crap..”

He was now taller than before, and his body was perfectly smooth, he was now more handsome.

“Cool”

He kept admiring his new body until the door was opened.

“Hello… opps, sorry for coming inside without knocking” the nurse said as she was struggling to keep her eyes away from his slightly enhanced six paths and perfect height.

“Who are you?” He asked, having no clue.

“I'm Mary, your appointed nurse” she replied feeling overwhelmed by his superb facial features, his blue eyes were charming, accompanied by his sleek black hair.

“Nurse? How did I end up here?” He asked.

“You were brought to the hospital three days ago by some passerby who saw you injured and unconscious on the road”

“Three days!” Dexter exclaimed. His mind quickly went to his little sister Ava, she would have been so worried and above all she was crippled and always on her wheelchair, she had always relied on Dexter to survive. And if he had been here for three days, how would she survive? Has she even eaten?

“Excuse me, but please I need to go” he rushed wearing his dress.

“But sir, you haven't recovered fully and you need to sign out before leaving!” She yelled but he was already gone.

“He's so handsome,” she blushed.
